Robert Farago Shows his True Fanaticism
Says Robert:
Sorry FoD, but I don’t think The People of the Gun should erect psychological barriers for Americans contemplating exercising their Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. It really isn’t that complicated. Buy gun, insert bullets (facing forward), don’t point it at someone who doesn’t need shooting. If someone’s trying to kill you, point and shoot. The rest — the safety rules, firearms selection, caliber choice, marksmanship, safe storage, gunfighting techniques, situational awareness—it’s all great stuff. But I don’t think gun guys and gals should overwhelm newbies with the full range of concealed carry considerations. At least from the git-go. Am I wrong?
The sycophantic commenters agreed. No surprise there.

Smashing idea! I think we should apply the same logic to healthcare workers (especially MENTAL healthcare workers) food service workers, motor vehicle drivers and the thousands of other occupations/tasks/hobbies/avocations that people engage in every day. Yup, sounds good to me./s
ReplyDeleteThat's a wide spread of occupations. Many people working in food service have limited education and English proficiency. Driving a car takes longer to learn, but the basics aren't that complicated. Healthcare requires years, and even then, there's an element of art and a need for experience. But you're the one who loves to talk about false equivalencies.
DeleteWhat's fanatical about exercising a right? Only a true control freak would challenge that.
ReplyDeleteUnlike that which has commented above, control freaks serve an important social function. It cannot truthfully say the same for itself.
DeleteE.N., are you still running your mouth? According to you, we have no rights, including the right to express ourselves. Shut up.
DeleteNo, it has no rights. It continues to assert that I apply this to all, yet I have yet to make such a statement.
Deletesome are more equal than others.
E.N., I've told you before, but apparently you were too stupid to pay attention. I am a he, not an it. You have yet to provide us with any justification for your free expression. I don't require any, since all human beings have individual rights, including speech, but you deny that. Since you do, you should shut up or explain yourself.
DeleteGreg Camp:
Delete"I am a he, not an it."
What defines "you"? Is there any real consciousness? If "you" do believe that you are self-aware, how do you prove it?
Look at what I write. Notice the use of We? Who is We? In that question lies your explanation.
True control freaks like Justice Scalia, huh Greg?
DeleteMikeb, Scalia didn't create any restrictions. He ruled on the state of the law. You love to misunderstand that.
DeleteE.N., I can see why you oppose private ownership of guns. You're too irrational to own one yourself, and you're afraid that someone sane might have a firearm.
Greg, you are the irrational one. So irrational, that you are oblivious to it.
DeleteGreg, Scalia said there's no "right" outside the home. Concealed carry is not included.
DeleteAdmit you were wrong. I'm waiting.
As I explained to you elsewhere, the ruling was on a limited question. Besides, most states have come to see things my way. It's like gay marriage. There was a lot of resistance to basic rights, but things are getting better.

That paragraph is pretty straight forward. Robert covers the basics ... the most important of which is don't point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them and they are trying to kill you. That simple statement sums up all of gun safety and law.
ReplyDeleteLike anything else, start with the most important stuff and introduce the less important stuff as the person is ready for more.
Meanwhile, from day 1 they're carrying. That's fanatical nonsense. Training and preparation are essential BEFORE someone even owns a gun, let alone carries one around.
DeleteIt actually is pretty simple to get a hold of the basic premise of who to shoot and who not to shoot and how to shoot a gun and how to not pull the trigger when you don't want to.
ReplyDeleteIt is the sheer simplicity of a gun that makes it such an effective tool that it truly requires such minimal training to operate. If you want to go take classes and hone your skills then more power to you but it's not necessary for basic safety of operation.
Oh really? A total newbie can just buy a gun, get the Florida CCW permit through the mail and safely carry? No training or experience at all is required? Is that you're brilliant idea, Mr. Simplicity?
DeleteMikeb, why won't you listen? Why do you persist in error? Florida requires proof of training before it issues a license. I've told you that repeatedly. Here's the link:

If we required training to exercise one's right to self-expression, perhaps you'd stop repeating falsehoods.
Greg, you're the one not listening. The required training is minimal. It's tantamount to nothing, which is exactly what it is in Arizona and Alaska.
DeleteAre you saying you agree with Robert?
The training required by Florida is far from minimal. It's similar to what many police departments give--New York City, for example. But as far as I'm concerned, training requirements and licensing to carry are compromises that we tolerate to show that nothing is enough for your side.
